Detailed description of the invention

In fig. 1-3, identical Reference numeral represents identical or functionally suitable component.

Fig. 1 schematically shows an exemplary embodiment of dish-washing machine GS with perspective view, and it has cube internal container or eluant container GB.Described internal container or eluant container comprise four wall portions, are in particular two vertical sidewall SW1, SW2, the cover DW generally arranged in a horizontal manner and the base section BOT substantially arranged in a horizontal manner.Internal container GB comprises rectangular aperture in front portion, and described rectangular aperture can be closed by means of door TU.In this process, door TU is hinged on two sidewalls SW1, SW2 in the mode of upset by means of articulated mounting GE in the region of base section BOT.At this, in the exemplary embodiment, in right side wall SW1, be provided with rectangular slits or breach AS, peviform unit B W, the insertion of receiving vessel or receiving box BO, be particularly assembled in described otch or breach AS.In FIG, receiving vessel BO illustrates with the state of pre-installation, that is, insert in otch AS the situation before being in closed state at it as single component.For receiving vessel, use plastics in a preferred manner.In this process, the mode that the peviform unit B W of receiving vessel BO shows greatly seal fluid and sealed steam to be bonded in otch AS and to form the part on the surface of outer wall SW1.Receiving vessel BO has the geometry of flat cuboid shape in a preferred way.The exterior contour of described peviform unit B W is essentially rectangle and is selected to the in-profile of the reception section AS made in its adaptive sidewall SW1.The thickness of receiving vessel BO is particularly selected to: when receiving vessel BO is assemblied in otch or breach AS with end-state, and remaining wall surface renovating unit B D and sidewall SW1 of the inner space towards internal container GB of receiving vessel BO roughly evenly extends.This advantage had is, the receiving vessel AB being in embedded state does not have the parts being projected into the inner space of internal container GB thus the space meeting restricted internal container GB from sidewall SW1.Therefore, the spray wall of rotation and other moving component keep their all freedom of motion in the internal container GB of dish-washing machine GS.The structural change of spray arm, plate-basket and/or other moving links is also avoided in an advantageous manner.

As required, there is enough spatial volume in internal container GB, also receiving vessel BO can be placed on the inner side of sidewall SW1 as attached component, thus not need breach AS.Receiving vessel BO now inwardly gives prominence to from the flat inner side of sidewall SW1.

Alternatively, also can not adopt the otch AS led in outside sidewall SW1, and can provide the depressed part be outwards shaped, described depressed part holds receiving vessel in mode partially or completely.Described depressed part has outwards with geometry in the rectangle of roof shape shaping for this reason, and in described rectangle, geometry is roughly corresponding with the outer geometry of rectangle receiving vessel BO.

Receiving vessel BO comprises two sub-components: uprightly, i.e. vertically disposed peviform unit B W and be assemblied in mode that is hinged or upset peviform unit B W renovates unit B D.The described unit B D that renovates is suspended in the lower area of peviform unit B W in a rotating manner around rotation SA.This rotation SA is made up of two bolts or pin element in one exemplary embodiment at this, described bolt or pin element assemble at the outward flange section place of the vertical extension of receiving vessel, are particularly molded in integratedly in the region of reception cavity bottom of receiving vessel BO, and in receiving vessel BO in a preferred manner level with one another highlightedly faced by.These bolts or pin element flush in a preferred manner relative to each other.Under the closed condition of receiving vessel, two described bolt elements are substantially bonded in the vertically extending inward flange renovated respectively in the groove of corresponding shaping or blind hole, renovate the expection straight line installing bolts relative to two and install in a rotating manner described in making.

The rotation SA renovating unit B D is arranged in the lower area close with the bottom of peviform unit B W, make: in the position of closing a terminal of renovating unit, between the lower outer edge section that exit slit AR is formed in lower limb and the peviform unit B W renovating unit or bottom.Fig. 2 shows the receiving vessel BO being in closed condition individually with schematic diagram.Substantially, exit slit AR occupies the whole clear span of peviform unit B W.Described seam extends substantially on the depth direction of eluant container IB, and substantially designs in a linear fashion.The height of described seam is chosen to due to actual cause: the water of at least one spray arm in the internal container GB of dish-washing machine GS or another spray equipment sprays the inside that can enter into receiving vessel BO through elongated seam AR, and in this process particularly can hydro-peening and clean exit slit AR.The detergent box KD with the multiple holders comprising liquid cleaner or detergent components is contained in the inner side of receiving vessel BO.By means of can be arranged on detergent box from it, can be arranged in receiving vessel BO and/or the actuating device in outside of rear wall of receiving vessel can be arranged on, the liquid cleaner of the metered amount determined can shift out from holder in a selective way, namely individually or independently of one another.By the exit slit AR of the bottom section of peviform unit, now can guarantee that the relevant liquid cleaner discharged from receiving vessel BO can ooze or flow out and can mix with the rinse solution the pond on the chassis of internal container GB or admix.By exit slit AR, particularly, the water sprayed by the spray arm of at least one spray equipment, such as rotation type is sprayed all can be gone out and substantially remove the cleaning agent discharged in receiving vessel by detergent box completely at every turn.Therefore, liquid cleaner residue can be prevented to a large extent to be retained in receiving vessel BO and/or in exit slit, and can prevent liquid cleaner residue from such as getting lodged in there by sclerosis.

In a word, therefore, exit slit or outlet slot AR can make the relevant detergent components of release substantially discharge from receiving vessel BO noresidue, and can substantially fully import in rinse solution with the metered amount of its release.In this way, the relevant liquid wash component of meticulous metering or detergent components can be made to import in the GB of inner space.In addition, also can guarantee, once relevant flush cycle terminates, the relevant detergent box in receiving vessel will by washes clean.Therefore, operating personnel can relatively freely from the pollution of cleaning agent at the end of cleaning procedure.By exit slit, also guarantee in large degree, detergent box also can be dried in the baking step of relevant cleaning procedure.

The center of renovating unit B D edge thereon has latch piece VE as fixture, described latch piece inner side tension, particularly with elastic type kayser on the outward flange of peviform unit B W.By elastic card latch fitting VE is moved backward to open position, renovate unit rotatable or be opened in internal container GB.In this process, the rotation SA renovating unit B D is arranged in the lower area close with the bottom of peviform unit B W, make in the position of opening a terminal of renovating unit, Support is formed between the leading edge of lower outer edge section of back edge and the peviform unit B W renovating unit, with limit renovate unit B D open motion.Renovate the brace table that unit B D now serves as detergent box, this makes more easily to remove or insert the detergent box be newly full of.Especially, be assemblied in the bottom section of peviform unit B W by renovating unit B D in rotary manner in reality, peviform unit is arranged roughly in a horizontal manner in its position of opening a terminal, that is, it and sidewall SW1 are inwardly projected into the inner space of internal container GB at a right angle in fact.

Renovate unit B D and have inward flange DR along its lower limb and along two vertical side edge, described inward flange is given prominence to vertically towards interior with the inner surface renovating unit B D substantially.In the closed condition of receiving vessel BO, this inward flange DR renovating unit B D is engaged in the space limited by the outward flange AR of peviform unit B W.Especially, renovate unit and have inward flange in edge and two vertical side of the edge place thereon, in the position of closing a terminal of renovating unit, described inward flange is engaged in the respective perimeter groove of peviform unit.In order to clearly visible, eliminate described groove in fig. 1-3.

The lower outer edge of the peviform unit B W of upright assembling or bottom BS preferably dip down towards the direction of the bottom BOT of internal container GB and tiltedly extend.In the side view of this receiving vessel shown in Figure 3.Downward-sloping relative to the rear wall RW of peviform unit more than 90 ° of the lower outer edge BS of peviform unit B W.Therefore, the relevant liquid cleaner of release can rely on himself weight to advance towards front exit slit AR, and oneself can drop onto the bottom BOT of internal container GB therefrom.The inside that can enter receiving vessel BO through exit slit AR is sprayed even without water, the relevant liquid cleaner of the metered amount of each release also can rely on oneself forward slip of himself weight to the front opening of exit slit AR, and drops onto the inside of internal container GB by this way therefrom downwards.The rotation SA renovating unit B D is arranged in the region of the peviform unit B W close with bottom in a preferred manner.It has given vertical interval HA on the direction that the tilting bottom BS with peviform unit B W is vertical, makes can obtain fixing gap between the inner side of rotation or pivot center SA and bottom BS, to discharge the relevant liquid cleansing component of each release.In this process, the rotation SA renovating unit B D is arranged in the region of lower outer edge section of peviform unit B W, makes to renovate unit B D roughly concordant with lower outer edge section BS in described position of opening a terminal.

Describedly open a terminal position in figure 3 with Reference numeral BD ^*the dotted line represented illustrates.In this process, Support or interconnect area described open a terminal position time be formed in and renovate unit B D ^*back edge and peviform unit B W lower outer edge section BS leading edge between, whereby, the flip-flop movement of unit is renovated in restriction.This is because rotation SA upwards moves a lateral distance afterwards, described lateral distance can make a reservation for relative to the lower limb UK renovating unit B D, and therefore this produces with the border area of the inner side of the lower outer edge section of peviform unit B W the overlapping or interconnection matched at the border area in outside in region of position at the lower limb UK renovating unit that open a terminal.Therefore, described in renovate unit now can serve as detergent box brace table in described position of opening a terminal, described brace table is fixed from top relative support pressure.In addition, renovate unit B D and have a holding device or multiple holding device FK, particularly guide chute, whereby, oneself can be positioned at the position of expectation by relevant detergent box KD in a preferred manner.In figure 3, box KD and holding device FK is all with dotted line with diagrammatically simply illustrate.

Due to renovate unit have be positioned at inner side for detergent box being fixed on an installation elements of its position or multiple installation elements, therefore, detergent box can be brought to the predetermined active position of expectation in a particularly simple way after unit is renovated in closedown, at described active position, the metrological service of each holder be separated of detergent box is automatically switched on.At described active position, detergent box is particularly upright, that is, described sidewall vertically extends substantially.Show greatly perfect square formula at described box integrated or be assembled to the described active position of peviform unit, the outlet of holder is arranged in the region of the lower outer edge of peviform unit.The holder of detergent box is now particularly configured to be respectively the roughly preferred vertical current outgoing direction of liquid cleaner component setting.
